Rate Limit Reports

In the LSM, you can configure a rate limit action set to define the maximum amount of bandwidth available for traffic matching IPS filters that have a rate limit action set assigned. If two or more IPS filters use the same rate limit action set, then all packets matching these filters share the bandwidth. For each rate limit action set, the Rate Limit Reports page allows you to view the percentage of bandwidth consumed by rate-limited traffic graphed as a function of time.

The following figure shows the Rate Limit Reports page:

Action Set Name

Data is reported based on the view options you select in the Rate Limit Reports page:

•Rate Limit Action Set Name — the list of available rate limit action sets is provided at the top of the rate limit table. To view the percentage of rate-limited bandwidth used for an action set, click on the action set name to update the report.

•Reporting time interval — select the time interval for the reporting period: Last 24 hours, Last 60 Minutes, Last 60 seconds.

Note The Rate Limit report is only available if an Action Set has been configured with the Rate Limit action.

For additional information on rate limit action sets, see “Action Sets” on page 44. For details on rate- limited traffic streams, see “Rate Limited Streams” on page 112.
